Hey guys
I would like to know if playing a consistent poker, 20 or 25 tournaments per day, inside the bank, if it is possible to turn 50 dollars into 500 in a period of 1 month playing sit go?

I imagine its more than possible

Yes it is, I've done it before on a few sites.

Let break down some math.
Say you are playing in $5.50 buy in 6 man SnG and this is all you play.
With $50 deposit you can play and have to lose 9 games in a row to go broke.

Say the payout are 70% and 30% for 1st and 2nd.

First place would pay 70% of 30 so $21
Second place would pay 30% of 30 so $9
Let say when you cash 50% of the time you 50% of the time you get 2nd%

So the average cash for a win is $15.

Now lets say you cash about 66% of the games you play and you play 25 games per day.
So you cash in 16 out of 25 games this come done to cashing in 16 or 17 games.

Cashes = 16 wins time the average of $15 = $240.
Fees = $5.50 per game * 25 games = $137.50
Profit = cashes - fees = $102.5 per day before any rewards for frequent player point etc.

If you can consistently cash in about 66% the 6 man of the SnG you play then you can profit get to about $500 in about 5 days.

Be ready to have swings in both directions, this is variance.
Some days you might win 85% of the games you play, and some days you may only win 40% or less.

Good luck in your SnG challenge!

It is possible to do that in one night but at high risk and bad bankroll management watch out for the amount of rake you are paying as it varies in sit and gos from poker room to room play on a site with lowest rake if playing these as this impacts your roll good luck.

To cash 66% or more you have to be a very good player or your competition very bad and even then it is very unlikely.

I didn't say it was easy.
But it can be done.

It will depend on individual skill, discipline, levels you play at, and the skill of your competition etc.

You can take the same example and reduce the percentage of game you place in the money and leave all other factors the same.

If you reduce the percentage of game you place in the money to just under 50%
Say 12 out of 25 games.

Cashes = 12 wins time the average of $15 = $180.
Fees = $5.50 per game * 25 games = $137.50
Profit = cashes - fees = $42.50 per day



Taking your more like 12 days to get to $500 profit


Your break even mark is just over 9 cashes out of 25 games that puts in the money 36% of the games you play. If your in the cash rate is below this mark you will be losing long term. You need to stay above this in the cash percentage long term to make a profit.

The above example are also considering 10% house fee per game. That is pretty much worse case. If you are paying more than that in fees you should probably look for a new site to play at.

Reducing your in the cash rate to 11 out of 25 games will get you to $500 profit in just over 18 days.

Reducing your in the cash rate to 10 out of 25 games will get you to $500 profit in 40 days.

Depending on your current skill level it is very possible just be aware that one bad downswing and you might go broke.

I think OP wants to stay within the parameters of good Bankroll Management. This means 5% at a time to buy into a STT Sit 'n Go. So that means starting at $1 SnG. After doubling BR, it's on to $2, double again and it's $4, etc. PokerStars pays top three in a 9 runner SnG, top two in a 6 runner.

Your ROI would have to be pretty amazing for a month of 650 or so tourneys. It's a moving target, since as BR increases, stakes increase as well, and that super consistent, super good ROI stays the same, increasing actual profit. It would be very difficult, I would think. I don't want to figure the figures, but I think it would require a month long heater. The kind of heater you would look back upon in your old age and think "why did I waste that on microstakes!".
Try to turn X size BR into 10X in a month using play money. Level of play aside, I think you will see that the actual activity and necessary win rate to convert X to 10X staying within the rules of good BRM would be formidable.

yes I think it is possible. I would assume it would require good bank roll management to do so. So that you are not putting too much money into one tournament and could navigate though moments that may be downswings.

Sometimes playing a MTT with a small buy-in and winning it could get you 500$ easily. You have to be in very deep of the tournament tho.
Anyway, good luck with your challenge.

Dude, which one turnaments do you play? What kind of statistics do you have if it's not a secret?

Yes you can. I make it to the 50$ from 2$ (from freeroll). Then I was playing zoom nl2 and got to 20$, then I played 4 table zoom nl5 and go to the 50$. In couple of hours I got 25x buy in and cash it out next week.

It’s very possible, but getting your bankroll 10 times over is a long haul OR a big win in MTT.

Getting ITM half the time is probably not realistic as someone showed above, definitely not long term. Also, playing a tenth of your bankroll for each SnG is a good way to go broke.

Aim for 10% ROI with at least twenty buy in’s. If your site has $2 + .20 SnGs, do those until you get over $100, then switch to $5 + .50. With a 10% ROI, that will take you around 450 games. That could be your whole month, or that could be one long week of poker. Really depends on how much you play.

Assuming you could continue the same ROI (unlikely at first, but possible long term), it’s another 450 games to get to $200. Another 450 to get to $400 and then $20 + $2 games. Then just a quick 45 to get to $500!

So, all in all, you are reasonably looking at 1400 SnGs to get there. Good luck!

I think this is impossible my friend.You have to be an expert poker player to do that.

Yes, it is very possible! But you must play smart ALL the time and be very, very disciplined All the time. Figure out a game protocol and stick to it. Manage your bankroll like a banker during a recession. Don't make those hero calls unless you absolutely, positively know the other guy is a bluffing.

I.e., be consummately professional.

It is definitely possible but very hard to do. My advice for this challenge of yours is to really stay focused the entire time. If you get to, let's say, 200$ early, don't suddenly switch to higher limits or switch from SnG to cash game or otherwise. Try to stick to your game.
Your primary goal should be earning money, getting profit out of your play, not the time that you need to do so. Therefore, making 500 in 45 or 60 days is quite good as well. Also do not give in to tilt!.
I had a mini challenge of my own where I wanted to turn 10 to 100 in one month and then try making it to 1000 in the 2nd month. I got up to 250, had few bad days in a row that got me down to 110-120$ and I got really pissed, so much that I gave up on my challenge and just withdraw the money.
There was no reason for me to do so, other then tilt, but at least I recognized the situation I was at, and took the money.

Hi.
Of course this is possible.
For this you need three to five years to work hard every day and improve your game.
If you are willing to spend so much time devoting to learning and practice, then you will achieve your goal.
Good luck.

I mean I turned $200 into $2200 in a month not long ago so I'd say so yeah. You do have to come into it with a decently level of knowledge and get lucky but yeah it's definitely possible.

if you play 500 sit n go 0.50 and get 50 percent ROI you get the 500 dollars

I suggest everybody who says from how much to how much makes the cash to say what kind of game plays so other players to know and to think which is the best type for playing with small bankroll
P.S i play only MTT in Pokerstars.

It's possible to do it with a little luck. Without luck, forget it, you are more likely to lose it all in one month than turning it into 500$.

This is definitely very doable if you are not in us you can turn 50 into 1000 in month but with lack players online in USA this can be though in order have major results you may need to go to small mtt and have some luck to bink a few

It seem to be almost easy how we can say. Even if variance is there I think it's not impossible. Good Luck at the tables!

Anything is possible as long as you have control of the bankroll and do not despair when you lose part of your bankroll.
Having an extratégie to start this walk is the most correct attitude to take, it is no use entering the game and start putting your feet by the hands, everything in your time, and very carefully, will arrive where you want, good luck

Are you sure about the math here?
I have seen so many posts mentioning ROI %, and I think it is wrong?
%ROI means the percentage of what you invested, that returns as profit.
Basically, 50% ROI means that if you invest 0.5$ you receive 0.75$ (0.25$ of profit), in which case he needs to play 2000SnGs at 50%ROI to get to 500$...

Possible? Sure
Likely? No

Might be easier to do with blackjack or craps, to be honest.

With just $50 I wouldn't touch poker.

Turned $20 into $1600 already playing satellites to a $33 tournament among other small mtt's so it's doable but you'll need the knowledge and luck!

super possible to play the sit & go of 2.50 4.50 etc patience and a lot of calm in a month ago that and more, greetings.

Yes, it depends only on the potential of your game.

Sure. I read about a guy who deposited a few thousands and turned it into over a hundred thousand within a summer.

Theoretically possible. But since you are asking such a question, I think for you it is impossible. Although you can try your luck, no one has canceled blasts and other lotteries

It's almost impossible. There are only a few of such lucky people.

I believe that with faith and good play everything is possible ..

This of course is real, but you need to have good skills, and iron nerves, and maybe you'll be lucky

Yes, definietly. I've seen my little brother turn 20 into 2000 so yes... 5 into 500 is possible.

I've been watching russian streamer https://www.twitch.tv/zapahzamazki lately - he is trying to complete "$5 to $10000" challenge. As of today he has over $6K on day 28th. Although he is a poker pro it still proves that your goal is achievable.

If you play 25 tournaments per day, it is a big number and many hours of game! For example if you play 0.10 it is 75$ per month and if you play 1.10 mtts it is 850$ per month. It depends from what you play and how easy you get in the money. It is better to play stgo's with bigger buy ins, like 0.50, or mtts with 0.55-1.10.

I think that you can win with $ 50, but you need to play carefully and try to win tournaments are not expensive!

Of course it is possible, but it is much easier to turn $500 into $50.

faith is all we have ^^

Yes,its possible,but you must be very skillfull and have some luck.

More than possible , but luck and folding tempting hands when some one goea all you'll need to do as well

I think that if possible but playing with patience and zero cash

I have done that and more in 1 night playing live tournaments but would be very cautious doing this online for then you are dealing with algorithms. In one live tourney I turned my $60 buy-in into a little over $1700. In my second best venture I turned my $30 buy-in into $1000. I would not hold my breath in duplicating this online although it does happen every day.

With proper bankroll management I dont think it is very likely. Without proper management think its possible, but think ruin is the more likely result.

I misread this and was rolling my eyes. After the cleansing eye roll, I see that this is entirely accurate.

Because OP wants to follow proper BRM, chances of a 10X increase in a short time frame (one month) is very unlikely. Good BRM reduces chances of busting at the expense of getting rich quickly. This is another thread where almost no one is responding to the entirety of the OP's question.

Parameters are:
-Good BRM
-10X increase of bankroll ($50 to $500)
-one month time frame
-20-25 Sit 'n Go's per day

"It is possible for me to buy a lottery ticket and increase my bankroll by 10,000% in one hour" is an irrelevant response to OP.


.

Sure it is, try to play with this bankroll MTT then u can win alot more then x10.

I believe it's possible , but sb has to follow a BRM plan and has to be a very good player .
Now , if he could add some tournaments in the whole plan as a small fraction of the total money earned by cash games or sngs , this should give him the chance to achieve the initial goal easier , but yet again it's just a thought , I have never tried a difficult plan like this , to multiply my bankroll by 10 in a month and to be a so good profitable player , I hope someday I accomplish that

sure
it s more than possible
